About: I’ve raised animals since I was able to walk! Farm animals, cats dogs, reptiles, birds, you name it! I currently have only one animal so I’m looking for others to spoil! I’m a college student so any time I’m not in class I’m always willing to be with your pet! No matter what day it is! I have cared for teacup chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes and rots! I can handle anything with a smile on my face!! Even the shy ones :)
“Mia was great! I had never had someone walk my dog and was a little nervous. She made me feel super comfortable. She took some great pictures along the way! We will be using her again!”
About: For about 6-7 years I have worked in a dog/cat boarding facility as the front desk receptionists and in the back as a kennel tech. My job included feeding, potty walks, playtimes in the yard individually or out in daycare with a multitude of dogs at once. I’m currently a full time student from home. I have a flexible schedule that allows for me to play with your pups as you need! I have two dogs myself, a big one and a small one. They are both dog friendly and can offer extra entertainment and socialization to your pups life.
About: I’ve been on Rover for about a year now, but I’ve been caring for pets much longer through word-of-mouth and outside bookings. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from calm seniors to high-energy puppies. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, crate training, and giving pets the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I’m a college student taking classes online and living at home with my parents, so my schedule is very open and flexible considering I try to do this pretty full time! That means I can provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays with lots of availability—especially during the weekdays. Your pet won’t be waiting long for care or attention! The only places I really travel to during bookings are to other drop ins and the gym but I can ensure not to be gone longer than 4-5 hours! I treat every client’s home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I always follow any rules or instructions you leave, keep your pet’s routines consistent, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. I’m very mindful of safety—whether that’s locking up properly, keeping pups secure on walks, or making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was in 6th grade. I would go around in my spare time and ask my neighbors if I could walk and bathe their dogs. I have always had a love for pets and and want to continue to share that love with your fur babies as well! I am a stay at home mom with two dogs of my own and have so much time to give your wonderful pets love, play time and walks. I have a fenced in and nicely shaded yard for all pets. I can easily crate and separate pets if ever needed. I have a small seconded fenced in part so if your dog doesn’t want to play and just wants to sun bathe or relax in peace they are able to do so.
About: I’ve been an owner and sitter of dogs and cats for 10 years. With that, I have experience walking, playing, bathing, and feeding. Most of all I love being around animals and making sure I provide them with love and care. I am currently a full time pet sitter and love every second of it! I am available most times during the week, whether you need someone to drop-in for a walk or stay with your fur baby full time. In a clients home and at my home I am very attentive to what the animal may need. Play time, food, water bowl and anything else.
“Thi was awesome with my pup and it was so easy to communicate with her. She was flexible and helpful and made sure my babies were well taken care of. Will definitely use her again!”
About: I've taken care of 4 big dogs at the same time for more than a week and stayed the night. I still take care of them to this day. I have also taken care of cats and cleaned the litter box included. My last experience I've had was puppy sitting and I had up to 6 English bulldogs plus the parents I took care of. Took them to vet appointments as well. At this point no pet is too much for me! I do have a part time job as a preschool teacher, I work a normal Mon-Fri. I am available all Monday-Sunday. I do have my own transportation so if I stay the night while sitting I have a way to work and back. I always make sure to ask different question to guarantee safety for both the owner and the pet. I personally only have 3 cats and I live in an apartment so they are indoor cats. That's how I keep my babies safe.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child as well as sitting/walking for other animals professionally for 5 years. I am also great with caring for senior dogs and will give them the attention and special care they need. I am experienced with dogs on medication as well as special diets. Willing to cook your pets food if needed. My only job right now is pet sitting and pet care. I am available 7 days a week for boarding, feeding, walking, etc. Very experienced. I have a fenced yard all around my home as well as 2 small friendly dogs to keep your dogs company and for socialization. I can also crate your dog if requested.
About: I've had dogs all my life and have taken care of quite a few different kinds. I've taken care of dogs of every size and even taken care of a few cats. I love to walk dogs and spend time playing with them! I'm currently working on a certification, so my schedule can be pretty flexible. I can pretty much work any day of the week and weekends! I have two lively dogs of my own so I know a thing or two about taking care of dogs. I've spent my time with cats too so I know how to handle a litter box. I can follow your instructions for how you want me to specifically take of your dog or cat. I can send updates of your furry friend so you can check up on them!
About: I’ve owned dogs since as long as I can remember! I’ve owned Golden Retrievers, Boxers, and now I have an American Pitbull Terrier/German Sheppard and they are the sweetest dogs ever!! I have a little experience in dog training (sit, shake, high five, etc). However I have always loved taking my dogs on walks or just playing with them outside!! I’m currently in nursing school so I have a few free days that I would love to be able to take time to myself (which of course means being with dogs!!) on the days I’m off of school. I do also work a few days a month for just a couple hours a day. I am always willing to play with dogs though!! I have a huge fenced yard that is extremely plain (no pool, no plants). I also have a large temperature controlled garage that they can play in! We have a slow feeder if needed, water bowls, food containers, dog toys, and a kennel!
About: I don’t just “watch” dogs, I hang out with them like they’re my own. I’ve got experience with all kinds of pups, from wild little puppies figuring things out to older dogs who need extra patience and care. I can help basic feedings, keep up with special diets, and even give meds if that’s part of their routine. I am a full time college student; however, I am happy to visit at any time throughout the day when I am not in classes. I am also completely available on the weekends! Id love to talk more about scheduling if needed. I will ensure that your pet stays safe by always keeping a watchful eye over them and ensuring they don't get up to any mischief!
About: I am a lifelong animal lover based in Alvin/Santa Fe. I have owned many dogs and cats in my life and I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m dependable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and anything else your pet needs to feel comfortable and safe. I currently offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • Cat care You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are being well cared for. I’d love to meet you and your furry family members! As a newly certified elementary school teacher, I have summers off and a schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for pets. During the school year, I’m usually home by 4:30 PM and available evenings, weekends, and school holidays. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. Me, my husband, and our 2 teenage kids live on a one-acre property with lots of open space. While the yard is not fenced, it’s a great environment for supervised outdoor time. We have a friendly, high-energy dog named Zoey, two indoor cats, and two outdoor cats who join us inside during the winter months.
About: No job is too small or large. I love all animals. I am willing to follow all of your instructions and details, special needs and geriatrics okay too. I have 2 kittens but they can be separated if needed I'm a stay at home mom and have flexibility to meet all of your pet care needs. I can be mobile to provide care and can make time at my own home. I do like to stay active so parks and walks with your pet(s), as appropriate, can be done as well! I have a fenced in porch, pet walking area, can cage my own kittens if needed. If I am coming to your home, I will follow all of your instructions, provide excellent care and detail, and leave everything the way I found it.
“Neysha is very great. I love interacting with her. She took water for the dog with her so she could feed my dog water. That’s super thoughtful. She gave my dog water break when she walked him so he didn’t get thirsty to death after walking. Super sweet. Will come back to book her again.”
About: ❗️If your house has any signs of fleas, do not book with me.❗️I have always grown up with pets in my house hold, i have always token care of them when no one else did and gave them the love they deserve. We are with them their entire lives, while they are with us for only a portion. I will be gentle and patient with them until they gained my trust. I can bathe them and play with them too, i cannot groom though. But i can make them smell all yummy! College student! I do go to college all year, even in the summer! I don’t have an outside job, so the only thing taking me away from your furry family is school! I’m always open and i can always get to your fur baby’s when needed! I have 1 doggy of my own and she has fear aggression towards other people and dogs, i’ve learned to work around her personality and to go forward. I bathe my dog by hand inside my home every 1-2 months (depends on if she gets dirty, she’s got a self-cleaning coat) and she gets fed every night! (she eats at her own pace so i just top off her bowls) She is trained to sit, paw, talk, wait, and lay down! She is my first daughter and my soul dog! I love her to death!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 1,956 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Santa Fe. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Santa Fe. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Santa Fe.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Santa Fe. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
